Tickets for the 2028 LA Summer Olympic Games went on sale globally April 9, following a locals presale that organizers say exceeded first-week sales for any previous Olympic Games.
Hundreds of thousands of Southern Californians secured tickets before they were offered to the rest of the world, with millions of locals registering and interest exceeding available inventory for many sports.
"We're thrilled by the level of interest and enthusiasm in tickets to the Games, and we're ready to welcome millions of others to Los Angeles in 2028," said Reynold Hoover, Chief Executive Officer of LA28.
Drop 1, described as the earliest on-sale period in Games history, runs through April 19 for fans randomly selected through the LA28 Draw. Selected participants can log in during their designated time slot to purchase tickets for any Olympic event, including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, subject to availability.
LA28 says nearly 50% of all Olympic tickets are priced under $200, more than three-quarters are under $400, and more than 1 million tickets will be available for $28. Only about 5% of tickets — prime seats to marquee events — exceed $1,000.
Key purchasing details include a 30-minute checkout window once the first ticket is added to a cart, a maximum of 12 Olympic session tickets and 12 Football (Soccer) Tournament tickets per buyer, and flexible shopping throughout a designated time slot.
Fans not selected in the first draw are automatically entered into future draws. Additional ticket drops will continue in coming months, and registered participants will be eligible to purchase Paralympic Games tickets through a separate draw beginning in 2027.
Premium hospitality packages are available through LA28's Official Hospitality Provider, On Location. The LA28 Games are privately funded, with the $7 billion-plus operation principally funded through ticket sales, hospitality, and sponsorship.
LA28's verified ticket resale program launches in 2027. LA28 cannot verify the validity of tickets sold outside that network.
